Thanks Daniel, I did not yet build a real Mac OSX application using Mono, but since a couple of months you can. That means you can build a native Mac app using the Cocoa framework. The Mono team made that possible by extending the techniques they used to wrap the CocoaTouch framework for the iPhone. It is an open-source project named MonoMac and you can download it form Github (http://github.com/mono/monomac).
On Windows I’ve always used PasswordMinder to manage my passwords, and I run that now on the Mac too. That is a standard Windows Forms application that uses the Mono Gtk libraries and,well, looks like crap (and generates tons of warnings in th ebacjground). I would like to port this to MonoMac some day. Can’t be too hard, since I can leave the business logic like it is, and just rewrite the UI. But be warned: learning the Cocao Framework requires some time. I already know the CocaoTouch Framework quite well, and was shocked to see how much more there is in the “real” Cocao Framework.

Nice overview, can’t wait to see your next posts. One question: what GUI toolkit you intend to use on MAC OS X?cocoa# ?Winforms?
